I love a good chutney to jazz up crackers, a cheeseboard or to serve as a delicious accompaniment to burgers, chicken, sandwiches and everything in between! I've recently discovered a few fabulous chutneys - The Bay Tree Farmhouse Pickle and Piccalilli and Vallum Farm Roast Garlic and Apple Chutney.

The Bay Tree chutneysSpecialists in preserves and chutneys, The BayTree, have a wide variety of delicious chutneys and sauces perfect for enjoying all year round. Varieties include Smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce (made with smoke-driedjalapeño chilies and excellent for marinating meat), and Garlic & Fennel Mustard, perfect for dolloping on burgers.

Vallum Farm chutneysMade on Vallum Farm near Hadrian's wal, this fabulous chutney is a must-have accompaniment to cheese and a tasty addition to sandwiches. For those who can't make it to the countryside to enjoy the delicious food offerings on site (including a restaurant and deli), Vallum Farm will be launching an online site soon.
